His Uncle Was Right.

81 had a hard enough struggle in
my early life," said Chief Justice
Chase to his private secretary on one
occasion. "When / first came to
Washington to push my fortune, l
asked an uncle, who was Senator, to
obtain for me a clerkship in one ofthe
departments. He told me he would
rather give me dollar to buy a spade
with which to work my way in the
world. l thought my uncle was I'M
kind, but l have long since known
that he acted wisely in not getting me
an office, and attribute all my good
fortune in life to that refusal. Had
secured clerkship at that time, I
should probably have remained a
clerk all my life, and, instead of now
being the Chief Justice of the United
States, be the Chief Clerk of q depart
ment."
Salmon P. Chase worthily won all
the high honor that he gained. For
years after removing to Washington
he went through the daily drudgery

AIGTibH SurgiClOD8ratiOl
A FATAL MISTAKE

The Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February Odd, 1883, pub
lished an account of o fatal
surgical operation which caused
q great connection among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, Dr.. Tlaycr, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronounclng it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar Undesirable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem.
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justif-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DIR.
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and Dr.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
OF the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible MS e; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for DYSPEPSIA
and Nervous Prostitution (fog
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence of it's
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of tbs dyspeptic remedy
do not question It's convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.
